Neela's eyes went wide, "You..You want to take me to dinner? Like a
date?" Had he just asked her out? Neela's heart pounded widely in
her chest. Neela watched for Michael's reaction. It would seem that
he hadn't heard her. He was busy concentrating on the air
conditioner. She watched him lift the heavy air conditioner off the
floor with ease and place it in the window. Not wanting him to see
her staring and drooling, she turned away and asked Michael if he
would like something else to drink. She went to the refrigerator. As
she opened the door, the lights went out.
"Or you could let me take you to dinner tonight, after we get this air conditioning business done," He smiled at her sweetly, his heart pounding in his chest....
Neela's eyes went wide, "You..You want to take me to dinner? Like a date?" Had he just asked her out? Neela's heart pounded widely in her chest. Neela watched...
"Neela?" Michael called as he eased the air conditioner back onto the floor. He didn't want her to trip over something and hurt herself. Picking his way...
Neela closed the refrigerator door to keep everything cold. "I'm in the kitchen." She heard Michael walk into the kitchen and felt his hand on her shoulder....
"Okay," Michael stood there for awhile, concentrating on the feeling of her shoulder under his hand. So warm and soft... "Uh," He broke contact after a...
Neela looked out the window a little upset that they had broken contact. From the looks of things, the whole city was out. "The whole street is out." Neela...
"Right here," Michael held up the tealights in their glass holders. They were little but they would give off at least enough light to get through the rest of...
Neela watched Michael light the candles on the table. It was so romantic. Not that anything was going to happen, but still...... "You don't have to make dinner...
"No, I don't have to," He agreed and sat down at the table, smiling at her gently. "But I want to." Michael hoped that had been a blunt enough answer that she...
He wanted to make her dinner. That was a good sign. "Well, I'm not sure how much food I have....or how much food is going to be good by dinner time. How about...
"That sounds like an excellent idea to me," He smiled at her acceptance of his dinner invitation. "And in the meantime, we could just talk. This the first time...
"Good," Neela said smiling. Neela was excited. Power or not, they wer going to have dinner tonight. "Talking is good. What do you want to talk about?" ~Neela...
"I want to hear more about you," Gallant smiled. "Like I said, we never get to talk about anything other then medical things and patients. I'd like to hear...
Neela laughed. "There's not really much to tell. I was born in India and moved to London when I was young. My parents own a restaurant in South Hall. I have...
"Like I said, London is more exciting then Ohio," He laughed. "I was born there. My father is a retired army lietenant and my mother is a seamstress. I have...
Neela looked at Michael amazed. "Wow. Just wow. How could you say that your life is less exciting than mine?" An army man, very nice. Neela wondered what he...
"Well..." He paused for a moment, laughing slightly. "After I got my internship I almost forgot what having free time was like. But now that I get some I like...
"Well, I love movies. Especially old ones. I like to watch tv, and listen to music, and read." Neela bit her lip, "What I really would like is someone to share...
"I'm surprised, to be honest." Michael smiled at her sweetly. "You're so beautiful and smart and I, well, I think you're great. And I'm glad you're not taken,...
Neela's heart fluttered. She felt like she was a teenager again with her first crush. He liked her. This was good. This was very good. Trying to control her...
"You know," Michael grinned, getting the double meaning this time around. "I think I could really go for that right now." He held his breath for a second after...
"Really?" Neela grinned widely. She moved closer to Michael. "Well, this is a kiss." She gave him a little peck on the lips. "And this is a french kiss." She...
"I do," Michael nodded studiously with a big grin. "But practice makes perfect." He leaned in and kissed her again, letting it linger and smolder between them....
Neela smiled against his lips, "Defiently better than french class. And you are right, practice does make perfect, which is why as your instructor, I order you...
"Yes Ma'am!" Michael leaned in and started kissing her again and again, until he was dizzy with the perfectness of the moment. And then his pager started to...
Neela was in heaven. She was alone in her apartment kissing the man of her dreams. Nothing could spoil this moment. Nothing except Michael's pager. Shit! "I...
"Yeah," He frowned and got up, picking up a glass candle holder and lighting his way to the couch to grab his jacket. On the way back, he managed to bang his...
Neela giggled at Michael's colorful language. She had banged her chin numerous times in the dark and had let out those same words. When Michael got back to the...
"Hi," He smiled at her softly, tracing his fingers through her dark hair. It had been the most amazing love making session he'd ever had with a woman. To a...
"Yeah it was," Neela said smiling. She kissed his chest right where his heart was and layed her head down to listen to his heartbeat. She had never been so...
